MPUMALANGA will spend more than five times what it expected on the plush new government complex in provincial capital Nelspruit. The riverside complex was originally envisioned as a R120m development when it was approved four years ago. It has already cost Mpumalanga R561m and will cost an additional R51m to finish sometime this year. The additional money has been trimmed from provincial departments, with public works having to cut back on roads and other construction. – African Eye News Service
